1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a novel coronavirus. Although liver injury is common in patients with COVID-19, little is known about its clinical presentation and management in liver transplantation. This is the first report from Iran that presented two cases of liver transplantation with COVID-19, neither of which had pulmonary signs and symptoms, but after diagnostic imaging, both had lung involvement. We also reviewed some literature on the management of COVID-19 in liver transplant patients. In conclusion, our patients improved after starting hydroxychloroquine and continuing to take all immunosuppressive agents except mycophenolate based on the multidisciplinary team's decision.
